Every Danish family in Copenhagen has their own version of 100% rye bread because it is a staple of the daily diet. Sharon has created her own formula, inspired by Trine Hahnneman, and will show you how to make hers, as well as encourage you to build your own. During the workshop you will also learn how to make a rye-cumin wheel bread and will experience how best to build, and maintain, your own multi-use rye starter.

Allagash Brewing Company
strives to create some of the best Belgian-style beers in the world. As people, they make sure to enjoy themselves along the way. Part of that joy comes from constantly pushing the sustainability of their brewing operation and making a positive impact in their community.
In 2017, Allagash made the pledge to increase their usage of local grain—that year, they ended up using around 115,000 pounds. In 2018, they increased it to around 280,000 pounds. In 2019, they’re shooting to hit 600,000 pounds. All of these increases are an effort to make it to one million pounds of local grain, per-year, by 2021.
“We’ve always wanted to brew with more local grain,” says Brewmaster (and Kneading Conference presenter), Jason Perkins. “It’s important to us to be a part of the movement that’s building out the sustainability of local grain here in Maine.”
